Kanban Overview – basics of Kanban.

Estimation – in order to predict dates, we need a lightweight way to estimate features.

Progress and Scope Creep – we need to understand our progress and the effects new and changed features will have on budget and schedule.

PART 2

The second part of the evening will walk through an end-to-end DevOps Pipeline using a very simple MVC application to see the following:

• Make a change to the application using Visual Studio. • Commit the change to a Sprint branch in Git. • See an Continuous Integration build run in the sprint branch. • Release the change to the QA environment. • Test the change in the QA environment. • Perform a pull request from the Sprint Branch to the Master Branch. • Perform a code review. • See an Continuous Integration build run in the master branch. • Release the change to the Staging Environment with approvals • Test the change in the Staging Environment • Swap the Staging slot with the Production slot with an approval. • Test the change in production. • Rollback the change to simulate a production issue.
